Thoughts on Halloween

Ah yes, Halloween. It's the end of October and the beginning of November. This is an exciting time for me because my birthday is just around the corner. Halloween is also an exciting time for me because I get to exhibit my extreme pumpkin carving skills. I make a pretty good jack o' lantern using not much more than my bare hands, a knife or two, and a few assorted power tools. Anyway my brother and I celebrated Halloween by renting Disturbia (the movie everyone in the world except for me has seen) and staying up late. Disturbia was underwhelming, as was the trick or treater turn out this year. Usually our porch is festooned with many small ninjas, pirates, princesses, and ghosts. Not so much this year. Luckily my brother compensated for this by giving out handfuls of candy bars instead of the allotment of 1 candy bar per child as recommended by the Federal Candy and Sweets Charity Committee. Due to the laws of physics, it is much harder to grab an individual tootsie roll than it is to grab a mini-butterfinger, so as a result we will have roughly one thousand tootsie rolls floating around my house for the next two months. I don't have a problem with them as long as they don't try to start shit with me. Like get stuck in my teeth and stuff. Tootsie rolls love doing that. They thrive off of cavities, in this way they are very much like the criminal underground of the candy world. While high-rolling socialites like Kit-Kats are strutting around attending shows and functions, tootsie rolls are hanging out in alleys distributing marijuana to children. It's feels pretty late and I start making less sense when it gets late so I'll cut this short.

In other news in my life I recently found that my score on the SAT is now an awe-inspiring 2040. I was very excited to find this out and even danced a bit before someone else mentioned there score which was of course higher. I have to remind myself that in a year or so I'll be out of this state ons oem grand adventure and while this grand adventure might not compare to Link's exploits in Zelda or anything, I think it should be quite interesting.

Until next time,
Andrew
